Tau seeds from patients induce progressive supranuclear palsy pathology and symptoms in primates

Grégoire Courtine, Tomislav Milekovic, Flavio Raschella

Progressive supranuclear palsy is a primary tauopathy affecting both neurons and glia and is responsible for both motor and cognitive symptoms. Recently, it has been suggested that progressive supranuclear palsy tauopathy may spread in the brain from cell ...

Brain-spine interface technologies to alleviate gait deficits after Parkinson's disease

Flavio Raschella

Gait and balance deficits are motor disabilities that typically develop late in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). These deficits are thought to be the result of dysregulated neural activity in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical motor lo ...
